Subject: Fort Worth Teen [runner] Dies From Lightning Strike

From MSNBC.com today:

FORT WORTH, Texas, 6:27 p.m. CDT August 13, 2003 - Lightning is blamed for the death of 19-year-old Fort Worth resident John Rauer.


The Tarrant County medical examiner's office reports Rauer was killed last night while jogging around a Fort Worth high school track.

Another jogger discovered Rauer's body around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The medical examiner has ruled the death high-voltage electrocution due to a lightning strike.

Rauer graduated from Fort Worth Southwest High School in 2002.

Lightning strikes are the second deadliest weather phenomena with flash flooding being the most dangerous. Last year, nearly 100 people died from lightning strikes in the United States, and over 300 were injured.
